During his first sit-down interview since being fired last year, former FBI Director James Comey reportedly compared President Donald Trump to a "mob boss."

A source present at the ABC News taping told Axios that an upcoming "20/20" interview with George Stephanopoulos will "certainly add more meat to the charges swirling around Trump."
The source also told the publication that Comey "told George things that he's never said before" and that the special will "shock the President and his team."A clip released of the interview shows Stephanopoulos asking Comey, "how strange is it for you to sit here and compare the President to a mob boss?" Comey himself doesn't speak in the video.

Comey was fired by Trump last year, with the administration saying it stemmed from his handling of the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's private email server.
Following his departure, Comey told the Senate Intelligence committee that the President had demanded his loyalty, pressed him to drop a probe into ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn and repeatedly pressured him to publicly declare that he was not under investigation.
He wrote that Trump said: "'I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go."
Comey also claimed in Senate testimony that he was defamed by the administration over their justification of his termination. Trump later said the Russia investigation was on his mind when he decided to fire Comey.
The ABC interview, which will air Sunday night, is part of a press circuit for Comey's upcoming book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies & Leadership."
CNN's Jake Tapper will interview Comey on April 19 and on April 25 Anderson Cooper will host a town hall with the former FBI director.
CNN's Stephen Collinson, Jeremy Herb and Tom LoBianco contributed to this report.

Comey's pimping a book. Got anything else?

Comment

Comey talked to the acting AG, Boente who replaced fired Sally Yates, and described Trump's pressure to end the Russia investigation and let Flynn go.

You have McCabe and Boente recollecting the events exactly how Comey described with notes they took the day after Trump's meetings with Comey.

why would you say they are all liars versus Trump who is a serial liar?

A former U.S. Attorney who replaced acting attorney general Sally Yates after her firing by President Donald Trump has reportedly turned over handwritten notes to the office of special counsel Robert Mueller

The notes, turned over by Dana Boente, could be evidence in an investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice, unnamed sources tell the Washington Post. Boente is now general counsel at the FBI. The notes were first disclosed on Tuesday night onThe Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

Boente was previously interviewed on several topics, including his recollections of conversations with fired FBI director James Comey about his interactions with Trump, according to the Post’s sources.

Comey has said he told Boente about a March 2017 conversation in which Trump complained that the Russia investigation was a “cloud” having over his ability to lead the country. According to Comey, Trump said he hadn’t done anything wrong, and he hoped Comey could get that information out. At that time, Boente was the acting attorney general overseeing the special counsel probe.

Boente’s notes appear to confirm the conversation, according to the Post.

Trump has been like that his whole life. As much as I hate him as a person he knows how to use people to do his dirty work and keep his hands clean.

That's why this whole Russia "thingy" he'll probably get away with. Tells his underlings what he wants and sends them off to do what he wants. That's why the raid on his lawyer could be explosive if they (the feds) want it to go that way.
